Hey martian, I picked up Joe Knetter's book ZOMBIE BUKKAKE based on your "recommendation" - man, that is much more messed up than MERMAID, which has zombies, sex and even zombie sex, but that's all peripheral to the main storyline, as opposed to BEING the storyline! But hey, not only is his book also self-published, but it got him quotes from the likes of Rob Zombie and a stint on The History Channel (!?!) So he's doing something right. Dig the cover, which isn't at all ambiguous as to the content...

Also here's a FB PM I recently received from fellow self-published author/exotica enthusiast TIKI CHRIS PINTO http://wildwoodmurdermystery.com/
summing up why he enjoyed MERMAID, I'm sharing it here since I think he really "gets it" and these bullet points may inspire some of you to take the plunge....

Hey Will, just re-read some of your book again, paying more attention to the nuances. Here's a few things I really dug about it:

• Tying music into scenes to help set the mood, some of the song titles paralleling the charachter's action. I like that device, use it myself sometimes. Really does bring some scenes to life.

• I know the sadness you've gone through with your cat recently. I could feel it as you described your cat Buddy in the book. Last April, the same week Murder Behind The Closet Door dropped, a drunk-ass in a pickup killed our dog Snoopy, while my wife was walking him on the leash, in the grass. He nearly clipped her too. We were devastated. For weeks, the song "My Buddy" ran through my head.

• At first, it was a little confusing with the switching around of realities. But you somehow were able to quickly make it easy to keep track. By the time they started morphing together, it was no problem following along. Damned good writing, to have so much going on and not let the reader get lost.

• You have some seriously screwed up ideas for porn movies. You should produce them. It might revitalize the industry.

• At times, Nick, Delores and Miles reminded me a little of Arthur Dent, Trillion and Zaphod from Hitchhiker's Guide, the way they interacted. Don't know if that was an inspiration or not. Also, I got a Muholland Drive vibe, especially towards the end.

• I have to wonder how much of this you took from your own life experiences, and how much was your imagination. Obviously, the zombie Elvis is real.

These are just a few of the reasons I really liked your book. Cheers, CP
